Laugh all you want. Helmet to helmet is only a penalty on a defenseless player. A runner is not a defenseless player.
this is only true if you haven’t watched a game since the targeting rule was implemented

All you had to do is watch the LSU game yesterday. Gene Steratoee explained it just as I said. It's explained at least once on almost every game.
quote:
The official 2018 Football Code of the NCAA Football Rules Committee stresses that "players and coaches should emphasize the elimination of targeting and initiating contact against a defenseless opponent and/or with the crown of the helmet."
quote:
Defenseless players can be defined as any of the following, but not limited to:
a player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.a receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
a kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
a kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.a player on the ground.
a player obviously out of the play.a player who receives a blind-side block.
a ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.a quarterback any time after a change of possession.
a ball carrier who has obviously given himself up and is sliding feet-first.

The Hit

I’ve never seen you this way. Speechless.

Joe is OK with it, I'm certain you'll be OK too.

Yep, this approach for sure. When it doubt it is a foul. No way watching that live it didn’t look like targeting. Hell, it looks like targeting in slow motion.

CBS’ in-house rules expert thought it was a fine no call, saying Burrow was not defenseless and it looked like the AU defender did not lead with the crown of his helmet.
I don't know how much simpler it can be said than this.

Unfortunately, we have two more weeks to make stuff up to bitch and moan about!
Posted on 10/27/19 at 10:29 pm to CDawson
Hell yeah. The most important thing is that we are 8-0, #1 and the defense is improving to compliment the offense well.

quote:
Actual rule: No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting. When in question, it is a foul.
Key: When in doubt it is a foul. Forearm and fist was used in head and neck area. By rule it was absolute targeting.
He wasn't a defenseless player, he was a runner.
